Fixed Penalty Notice on stolen car

[rhiannon22]

My car was stolen last week and thankfully recovered. When I picked it up after S.O.C.O had examined it I saw the Fixed Penalty Notice on the windscreen. It say's I have to go to court.
I have declared on the form I was not the driver and have the Crime Reference no. Case stilll ongoing. I can prove that I was at work when the offence happened.
First time anything like this has happened to me and I would like your advice on what will happen?
Thanks if you can help,
Rhia.

There must be an address to whom you are supposed to pay the fine. I'd write to them explaining what has happened, include the crime ref no and address / phone number of police station that issued it so it can be easily checked. Hopefully they will then just drop the penalty ticket.

Thanks Caspar,...smart dog!
I will try what you suggest, it has really helped as I can now do something rather than wait and worry.
Kind regards,
